Arts of 18th Century Europe: Rococo to Romanticism

From Rococo to Romanticism, explore a remarkable period in the history of European art. Expert lecturers will bring to life themes such as taste, patronage, and the art market, while you discover how artists and designers responded to an age of enlightenment and revolution. Drawing deeply from the V&A’s remarkable collections, this twelve-week online art history course will plunge through the genteel surface of “the century of reason” and expose the volatile contradictions beneath…

You can learn from our world-class experts wherever you are, whenever suits you: watch lectures live or view the recording later in your own time. You can experience the full breadth and depth of the V&A's collections with more than 40 hours of study over 12 weeks. Learn at your own pace: lecture recordings and study materials, lecture notes, copies of the presentations, and additional study materials are available in our secure Microsoft Teams environment for up to 12 weeks after the course ends, so you'll never miss a thing. And finally, join the conversation: share your perspective with your fellow students, and support each other in your further enquiries outside of class time.
